2025 is in the retro, welcome to 2026! Our favorite league takes no time out and after a colorful New Year’s Eve, the NBA continues this night with five posters on the program.
The night’s program
- 0h : Nets – Rockets
- 1h : Pistons – Heat
- 2h30 : Mavericks – Sixers
- 4h : Kings – Celtics
- 4h30 : Clippers – Jazz
The poster not to be missed: Pistons – Heat (1h)
The Pistons finished the 2025 calendar year with a bang, leading the Eastern Conference (25-8). There is no doubt that Motor City will want to get going in 2026 in the same way and it starts this evening with the reception of the Heat.
The Floridians have three victories in a row, the last of which against the Nuggets despite the injury to Nikola Jokic. The East is not at the level of the West but there is starting to be a traffic jam between places 4 (Raptors, 20-15) and 8 (Cavaliers, 19-16). A string of victories would allow Miami to slowly move closer to the podium.
